Sixers renounces Ricky Council IV, open a list – NBC Sports Philadelphia

On Friday the Sixers announced that they had given up Ricky Council IV.

The salary of the 2025-26 season of the Council of about $ 2.2 million would not have been guaranteed until January 10th.

The 23 -year -old wing joined the Sixers as a free agent not drawn up in 2023, signing a two -way contract. He had several impressive performances his season as Rookie showing immense athleticism and trust.

Surprisingly, the Council led the Sixers devastated by accidents last year with 73 games played.

However, he scored on average only 17.1 minutes and made two appearances in the championship G for the Delaware Blue Coats. Sixers’ head of the coach Nick Nick was publicly critical in the moments of the Council game, including his rebound.

“This is really his strong, playing outdoors,” said the nurse on January 9th. “We are certainly trying to encourage him from him. The greatest concern on this, however, is that he has to get the rebound to do it. My great emphasis for him and one of the things he needs to do more is to bounce on both ends.

“It can jump, it’s fast, it’s athletic and that makeup should involve a little more rebound to both ends.

The selection of the council shots and the general decline as a scroll to jump were clear problems. 38.2 percent went from the floor and 25.8 percent from the three -point range last year.

After giving up the Council, the Sixer are at 13 standard contracts, which are two below the maximum. Daryl Morey, president of Sixers’ basketball operations, told journalists about two weeks ago that the team hopes to “solve things” with the limited free agent Quentin Grimes. Hunter Sallis, Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker currently fill the three two -way slots of the Sixers.
